Basic

Acrylic paint, original 18"x18"Portrait of the artist's sister, Katie, painted for her birthday. The painting lightheartedly plays with conventional representations of women. It presents Katie as a glamorous, fantastical being - cosmic hair and body made of inspirational female music lines - but with the expression of bored disdain for the basic other. A loving joke between siblings.
